Holocaust author, survivor lecture
By Travis Smith
Assistant City Editor
Author Thomas Keneally, who wrote the original "Schindler's List," shared the stage with Leon Leyson, a Schindler Jew, in Hancock Auditorium on Tuesday.
Leyson was 10 years old at the time of the Krakow ghetto massacre and worked in Oskar Schindler's factory. The two spoke at length about the genesis of the book and the degree to which the movie was consistent with the book and the experiences of survivors.
Schindler was a Czechoslovakian businessman and member of the Nazi party who set up a factory in Krakow during the World War II. The factory, though it used Jews as labor, was a stark contrast to the brutality and killings in other industrial plants in Poland at the time.
Schindler eventually spent a huge portion of his own money to "buy" Jews from certain death in concentration camps, and his efforts kept over 1,000 Jews alive, when there were only 6,000 Jews left in Poland.
Kenneally described Schindler as "a very mysterious, wild mixture of a fellow . . . When he was drinking and laughing with the SS, he (had) already betrayed them. That's not in the movie."
Students filled lecture halls on campus for the past two nights — first to see a screening of "Schindler's List" and then for the discussion with Keneally and Leyson.
An estimated 1,000 people showed up for the two events, including many who were turned away from the screening, which attracted one of the largest crowds to Norris Cinema Theatre in years.
Leyson said that Steven Spielberg's movie, nominated for 12 Academy Awards was very authentic, adding that any cel from the movie could have been a picture of his family.
"I was one of the original cast of characters. You didn't see me, but I was there," he said.
Leyson offered some personal insight into the character of

Police round up underage drinkers
Snooker’s, 901 Club are targets of ongoing monitoring operations by LAPD vice squad
By Shanti Paladugu
Staff Writer
The Los Angeles Police Department's vice squad arrested four minors who were caught in possession of alcohol at Snookers and ticketed two others at the 901 Club over the past few weeks as part of what it called a standard targeting operation.
The Southwest Division's vice squad monitors bars, liquor stores and nightclubs in the southwest area of Los Angeles.
Sgt. Ken Santalla of the Southwest Divi-
sion said, "We let owners know that they have to abide by their licenses."
The vice squad also checked places on Crenshaw Boulevard and some smaller nightclubs on Adams Boulevard.
In addition to making sure minors are not drinking alcohol, the vice squad enforces all restrictions that apply as allowed by the city permits of establishments.
"Owners have to understand that there is a liability they have. They have to care for their property," Santalla said.
He also said he firmly believes that the owner of Snookers does not abide by his license restrictions. One example Santalla cited was that Snookers cannot have a live band but has done so in the past.
"We have to take enforcement action and try to educate the owners on their responsibilities," he said.
Santalla added that the vice squad is not just targeting Snookers, but all establishments that have city permits.
Though the owner of Snookers said he wanted to discuss the arrests made at the establishment, he did not show up for a scheduled interview.

Staff Writer
This Sunday, Muslims from USC and all over the world will celebrate the end of Ramadan, one of the most important Muslim holidays of the year, by breaking a long fast and attending a prayer ceremony.
The holiday, known as Eid-ul-Fitr or simply Eid, lasts for a month and is meant to be a time when celebrants strive to become better Muslims and better individuals, said Yasser Syed, a graduate student in electrical engineering.
"The focus is to become closer to God and have more compassion toward fellow human beings," he said.
During the month, celebrants fast during the day, study Islam's holy book, the Koran, ana conduct their daily prayers.
"Fasting is not just controlling one's appetite for food, water and other wants and desires, but also

Black women’s health looked at in comprehensive seminar
By Gayane Keshishyan
Staff Writer
Lifestyle factors of some African-American women put them at high risk of major health problems, such as sexually transmitted diseases, cancer and stress, according to speakers at a comprehensive black women's health seminar Tuesday.
The event, which was held at Taper Hall in honor of Women's History Month, was sponsored by the Black Women's Honor Society and the Black Student Assembly.
Dr. Arianna Sholes, who specializes in minority women's health issues, particularly pre-natal fetal medicine and management of high-risk pregnancy, gave a 40-minute presentation on sexual and nutritional health aspects.
Black women need to be aware that they are in the highest risk categories
for AIDS, pelvic inflammatory disease and breast and cervical cancers, Sholes said.
Though women of any ethnicity are at high risk for these illnesses, black women are at a higher risk due to a rampant lack of education on health issues. They do not stay in tune with their bodies, she said. They need regular check-ups, including pelvic exams and Pap tests, to catch illnesses that can be remedied easily.
Sholes stressed the danger of ignoring even minor symptoms that seem irregular and the importance of following basic preventive measures.
Pelvic inflammatory disease, for example, which is curable if detected early, can render a woman infertile if it becomes a recurrent problem. This sexually transmitted disease, which is contracted during unprotected sex (See Health, page 6)
